<p><span style="color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">On the Sunday 30th October I am returning to my birth place, <br>Portsmouth. Where I will be entering the Great South Run with the 22,000 other runners. Bupa Great South run is the World's leading 10 Mile <br>race that has been held every year since 1990. This will be a <br>special moment for me since I will be running in a major event <br>where I spent the early years of my life.&nbsp; <br><br>&nbsp;<br>The main reason I'm running is to celebrate the life of my <br>father who died of Cancer several years ago and being in the <br>Navy spent a good many years down in Portsmouth. I'm also <br>hoping to raise as much money as I can for the charity <br>Macmillan Cancer Support. <br><br>&nbsp;<br>We have all been touched with Cancer in some way or other in <br>the past. Be it family, friends or work colleagues, we all know <br>how it affects everyone involved and how devastating this disease can be.</span></span></p> <p><span style="color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">We also know of Macmillan and the great work they do to help Cancer <br>sufferers with their support, so it's only fitting with the support they gave my dad I should repay them in some small way. &nbsp; <br></span></span></p> <p><span style="color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"><br>I realise times are tough these days for cash so I would be grateful if you spare anything you can to help the Macmillan cause.&nbsp; <br><br>Regards <br>&nbsp;<br>Alan&nbsp;&nbsp; </span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"> </span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"> <br></span></span>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
